LPC-2119 ET ARM Starter Kit Initial problems

Started by jasuk1970 February 6, 2008
I'm now sitting here with a big smile on my face, Have have a board
with an LED connect to pin 216. And the LED is flashing. It may not
be a lot to you. but to me it means something is actually working :).

I thought I was in for trouble when the Verify flash upload failed.
But the program seemed to be uploaded ok hence the flashing LED.

Cheers,

Jas

hi,
The cable is only a 3 pin affair. (Ground, TX and RX)

So the DTR/RTS pins are not connected.
